International Teacher Training: Mainstreaming Diversity and Inclusion

The DAAD project ‘International Teacher Training: Mainstreaming Diversity’ seeks to enable all students of the Department of Pedagogy and Educational Sciences to gain international and transcultural experiences and insights. For this purpose, the Department, in cooperation with the International Office and the Centre for Teacher Education at the University of Bremen, seeks to establish a number of measures for internationalisation to make it easier for students to go abroad and to internationalise teaching in the department.

Focusing on diversity and inclusion as topics central to teacher education, the Department of Pedagogy and Education Science collaborates with university partners from Namibia, Canada and Austria. This cooperating network  offers students the opportunity to gain insight into the education systems of four different countries and brings then into contact with a range ofdifferent perspectives on diversity and inclusive education through virtual leaning formats. It also also opens up an opportunity for frequent exchange amongst a network of academics and students at the cooperating universities. In order to encourage international mobility of students the  Education the Department of Pedagogy and Education Sciences at Bremen and our partners closely collaborate to create structural conditions that help students to have school practice semesters abroad recognised.
